“The unique methods of language instruction offered by the [Tibetan Language] Institute have drawn large numbers of students, and the speed and swiftness with which they learn to read and write Tibetan is remarkable. For those who are interested in Tibetan Dharma, cultural and scholarly traditions, history, and stories, this activity—Tibetan language studies—is the most important. As it was said, “The basis of all learning is the written word.”
